Summary
If you make K 100,272 a year living in Zambia, you will be taxed K 21,028. That means that your net pay will be K 79,244 per year, or K 6,604 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.0% and your marginal tax rate is 43.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of K 100 in your salary will be taxed K 43.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by K 56.50.
